Pig: I am going to be focused this morning. I am going to get my work done. I will just quickly check my facebook news feed. Haha...look at that l'il baby singing...is that real? Haha...a monkey playing with a kitten...now that's funny. Is that kid really gonna jump off his roof? Whoa. Aww...a returning soldier surprising his daughter...I love these. I figured out how to increase my productivity.

I don’t do Facebook. If I have that much time to kill, I’d rather stick my face in a book.

This strip looks kind of weird today. The panels need to be brought together to where it’s two horizontal rows.

Interesting, a double format in the comments section.

Better way, dump Facebook.

This fairly one sided message from Stephan ignores all the good that Internet forums can accomplish. And trashing the viewing machine itself is an illogical move like shooting the messenger.

I see GoComics has adjusted the format of today’s strip so that we now see it in its regular setup.

The biggest difference between me and Pig today is that Pig has interesting varied facial expressions….
